Crysis Game will not work in Eyefinity

[Jimmy328]

Hello All,

This forum appears to be the best one for my question being that it is vidio/eyefinity related.

I am not able to run my Crysis Maximum edition to function in an Eyefinity set up, that is, across 3 monitors. Otherwise, Eyefinity works great; I can drag windows across all 3 monitors at a resolution of 5760 x 1200 which is optimal for these monitors. For a single monitor, they are optimized at 1960 x 1200. When I launch Crysis, it only show up on one monitor and this game is supposed to work in Eyefinity.

I am using that latest version of the Catalyst Control Center software and I have all 3 monitors configured exactly the same.

I am running one Radeon 5970 video card that has 2 DVI ports and 1 mini DisplayPort. The mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter or dongle, has an additional USB to provide additional power.

Here's my set up:

Hardware:

Monitors: 3 Hanns-G, model HH281, running in an Eyefinity set up (3 monitors)
MB: Asus P6X58D Premium LGA 1366 Intel X58
Proc: Intel Core i7-960 Bloomfield 3.2 GHz LGA 1366
Video: 1 Asus EAH 5970 (GPU: Radeon 5790)
Power Supply: BFG Tech EX-1200 Watts
Hard drives: 2 OCZ Vertex Series 30 GB internal solid state drives
Active Accell Mini DisplayPort to DVI Dual-Link Adapter, (this is powered by a USB) part number B087B-003J

Software:

Windows 7 64-bit (I don't know of any service packs at this time)
Video card has full Catalyst Software Suite version 10.2 (version 10.2 released, Feb 17, 2010)
Direct X End-User Runtimes (released Feb. 2010)

I continue to search the forums trying to figure this out.

I have contacted Crysis.com and they said contact crytek.com and go to the crymod.com forums. Crytek has no phone number, but I filled out a form on their web site; thus, I've heard nothing from them. On crymod.com, I have received a few suggestion, but nothing works.


Please help me figure this out, thank you.
Thank you,

Jim Barrett

just because you can drag from one to antoher doesnt mean they are operating in eyefinity.

you have actually set them up in CCC to be an eyefinity setup right? you have to do that first.

its supposed to work:

Actually I have found a lot more Eyefinity info over on HF concerning why, what is, and how to do it. Also there are videos on youtube that talk about how to as well if you need something more visual.

 

[Jimmy328]

Zargon: Yes, I have set this up in Catalyst Control Center and under Desktop Properties it says "Eyefinity Group", "Mode 5760 x 1200".

Skott: What is HF? I have seen a few Youtube video's but nothing that details how to make Crysis work in Eyefinity.

"Mode 5760 x 1200".

Try a ?x1080 mode, it is known that some games just don't like the 1200 mode.

didnt want to insinuate you were dumb or anything, but you didnt mention it, and tons of people assumed it would just work


this is probably what he means by HF

@ OP...is that 3-28" Hanns G monitors? I would love to see a pic of the Field of View in Crysis with that setup. I have one Hanns G and it's big...3, Hesus Christo!

Would be awesome - since I also have that monitor

 

[Jimmy328]

I'll get your screen shots; although, Crysis only works on one monitor. Mayber by tomorrow.

 

[eklock2000]

This guy had 3 - 23" Samsung displays. That's a lot of real estate...can only imagine what 3 - 28" displays looks like! Hope you get it working!

Here's a couple of pic's of my Eyefinity set up; even though, Crysis only comes up on one monitor.

Eklock, I'll take a look at the site you posted and try to contact the thread starter.

Here's a link to some beta 10.3 drivers, includes bezel correction...

So eyefinity works with other games, just not Crysis...? So it doesn't seem like it would be a driver cleaner issue.

Have you tried windowed mode and see if you can stretch Crysis across the three monitors?

Just thinking out loud here?

Thanks for the pics!
